Catharina's strength had increased to 12 times stronger than that of an ordinary man and Cristina was now 13 times stronger than that of an ordinary man.

Luan finished dismantling the undead skeletons, which was easier, since it was just bones, and then went to the zombies that were more disgusting.

​​

"This seems to be very annoying and disgusting to do. Thank goodness you are the one who does it~" Catharina said playfully.

"Well, if you want, I can teach you how to dismantle. It's not as difficult as it seems..." Luan finished guarding everything in two travel backpacks and placed it on each shoulder.

"No, thank you. I am satisfied with not knowing how to do this type of legwork." Catharina immediately refused.

"For real? If you learned how to do that, maybe you would get enough money to buy everything you wanted... Forget what I said," Luan said mockingly, "Look who am I talking to?"

Catharina snorted and said, "Humph! Do you think I don't understand what you're trying to imply? I can spend my mother's money, but that's because I have this privilege, and just because you started making money, you don't have to rub it in my face, annoying boy!"

"Okay, stop making a scene," Maira said with a chuckle, "Ingrid and Cristina are taking you two seriously again."

"I don't..." Ingrid blushed with embarrassment, as she was embarrassed, thinking they were serious. She also thought about offering to learn to dismantle, as she wanted to help as much as possible.

"Oh! Are they just kidding? I was completely deceived..." Cristina was more honest and admitted her thoughts. She was surprised at how real it looked.

Maira hugged Cristina and said with a smile, "They like to provoke each other like this, but, deep down, they love each other very much. That's why they manage to act like this, so, don't mind too much when they start acting like this, okay?"

"Yeah." Cristina nodded and asked, "Mom, did you put on perfume?"

"No," Maira replied.

"Mom smells good," Cristina said with a cute smile.

"Ara, really?" Maira smiled.

"Luan, now it's serious." Catharina asked, "Can't you make these monsters give us the experience to level up like in a game? I mean, if I did that, it would be a lot more motivational than killing and having to meditate right after, since it's not much different from the training we normally do."

"You are daydreaming. There is no way something like that can happen ... Well, not entirely, there is something similar, but it is a question of the person's Origin. For example: Ingrid, she can take the blood of those who she attacks and stay more strong because of that, others can take vitality. So if you can make a discovery in your Origin and manage to steal the person's tissue, who knows? But you will have to make the person naked..." When hearing the last part that Luan spoke, Catharina flushed from nervousness.

Unfortunately for Catharina, she imagined her attacking a zombie and stealing the clothes that covered its private parts... It was not a pleasant thing to imagine.

"But it's not a bad idea," Maira said thoughtfully, "If it's just the top, if Catharina can get, for example, an enemy's outfit that is more durable than normal, made from good fabric, wouldn't that be good?"

"Yes, we still need to better understand how her Origin works," Luan said, "Perhaps it is strong enough to transform a metal into fabric. We do not yet know what its limits are, and Catharina is still too weak to try to do something like this, but she can already go on training and improving."

"In fact, Luan, I managed to make the clothes fold by themselves," Catharina said proudly.

"Oh? Can you give command to fabric now?" Luan thought and said, "Err... I'm going to create some thread from the zombie animals. It will be good if you can create t-shirts and pants if you can control threads too."

"Okay, I'll try, but I never sewed before." Catharina did not refuse his logic, but she found fault with Luan's plan since she had never sewed before.

"We can hire someone to teach you. Anyway, we will continue to explore this place, and then talk about it after we return," Luan said.

If it was anyone else who tried to sew with the threads made from the zombie animals, they would not be able to, since it was even more difficult to bend than thread made of steel. Luan might have been able to do something like this, but it would take time. As for Catharina, she would only need to use her Origin to command the threads, it could be very fast.

"Another group of zombies, at least ten," Cristina said when she saw some more zombies not far away.

"Don't attack. Let me demonstrate an attack of Qi that I want to teach you." Luan stood in front of them and took out his sword. In the next instant, he cut the air horizontally.

*Whoosh!*

His cut was so quick that it created a blade of wind, and everything that tried to prevent the passage was cut, be it trees, rocks, and even zombies; everything was cut!

The place became flat, the sounds of falling trees were heard, the sounds of zombies giving their last cries of regret were heard... Everything was very destructive and fast. It was unbelievable that a simple horizontal cut in the air was capable of inflicting such destruction.

"Close your mouth so you don't swallow mosquitoes," Luan joked when he saw them looking at him in amazement.

"Luan, I want to learn! Teach me?" Ingrid took his arm and asked him with the eyes of a dog begging for food.

"Yes, like I said, I'm going to teach this to you all," Luan assured her, ruffling Ingrid's hair a little.

"Teach me, and I'll learn quickly," Catharina said confidently.

"It is not difficult. You only need to direct the Qi towards the sword and cover the blade with Qi and then, when making the cut, regardless of whether it is diagonal, horizontal, etc. you need to start releasing Qi, as if you want to shoot it, and then, with the speed that the sword swings, your Qi will push the wind along and increase the destructive power and everything in the way will be attacked."

To be easier to understand, Luan slowly made the attack with the sword. He cut the air with Qi on the sword and the moment he cut it it was like the Qi let go of the sword and was thrown. Because Qi was slow, it was fired separately, and it didn't go very far because it didn't use much force.

"We are still learning to use Qi as..." Amid what Catharina was saying, she saw Ingrid had almost managed to do what Luan had shown them, followed by Cristina and Maira. "Forget what I said~ I will try."

Closing her eyes, Catharina tried to do what Luan said. When she tried, she succeeded a little but was inferior to Maira and Cristina. However, she did not give up and continued to try.

In less than an hour, Ingrid had managed to pull off the technique. Although not as powerful as Luan, she made a clean cut in the air and covered about 200 meters.

"Okay, then you girls try harder. We will continue to hunt, or we will run out of time," Luan said, and added, "Incidentally, you can also attack without releasing the Qi from the sword. This will make the attack more powerful."

"I already imagined this, and I thought about using it," Cristina said.

"Are we going to stay for 12 hours here?" Maira put the sword to its sheath and asked.

"No, we will only stay 8 hours," Luan replied.

"So, then let's hurry up." Knowing that they did not have much time before they had to return, Maira agreed to continue hunting.

"Before that, I will dismantle these zombies." Luan would not leave good resources behind.

Luan did not take long to dismantle the zombies. He was professional in this matter, and he used a dagger that he himself forged that was tuned enough to double his own performance.

After finishing the dismantling, they continued to walk. Passing through the trees that were cut down by Luan, they walked into the forest. On the way, some rare plants and herbs, even stones of the First Order were noticeable, Luan kept all of the less delicate things in three of the backpacks, while the more delicate things like herbs and medicinal plants he put in the space of the storage ring.

"If we continue on this path we will find a demonic wolf group," Luan warned.

"Are they strong?" Cristina asked.

Luan messed up her hair a little while he replied with a thin smile, "Not much. At most they're 30 times stronger than an ordinary man."

"Hehe~ I will do my best!" Cristina liked the affection that Luan had shown when he rubbed her head and it made her laugh. She was also motivated to learn that the group of demon wolves were not so strong.

"Luan, how do you even know there are demonic wolves without even seeing them in person?" Catharina had this doubt.

"I see them with my senses. Almost like a blind man who rubs a person's face and recognizes who the person is and can even determine whether he is beautiful or not. In my case, I use extra sensory perception," Luan explained in a way that she could understand.

"Oh, so it's like that. If that's the case, can you be able to find anyone as long as you know his or her physiognomy?" Ingrid asked.

"Yes, I can. There is also the question of aura; each person and living beings have a different type of aura, even plants do." Luan said, "Well, this is something that I will teach you girls later, as it is very useful."

"I see. I am interested in learning; there may already be situations where I am close to a rare herb or plant, even an important metal," Maira said.

"Yes, but this can be put off for later since it is something that needs practice. It is not something that is learned that fast." Luan stopped walking, as they had arrived in front of the group of demon wolves.
